Wolfbox
Date Placed: July 30, 2002
Difficulty: Easy- good for children
From: The Darrell Wolf Family
Location: Newark, DE
Start at the center of the main parking lot of the W.S. Carpenter Jr. Recreation Area of the White Clay Creek Preserve on Route 896 North going out of Newark.
Go North northwest until the end of the mowed area.
Turn right and follow the edge of the field.
Continue straight down the path. You are now going East Southeast.
Follow the path. It curves to the left.
Continue until you see a path branching off from the left.
Turn left down this path. You are now going North.
Follow the path down into the ravine.
Go across the right angle bridge, not the straight one.
Do not cross the second bridge on your left.
Follow the path to the right and up hill.
Follow the zigzagy path past the "Hip Cirlce/Lift Off" stand on your right.
Follow the path up a small hill.
See station # 9 on your left.

We found this letterbox today. We were the first family to find it.
We had our 8 year old and 2 year old with us. It was a great hunt
for kids. Our 8 year old was actually the one to find the box and
was thrilled.
Thanks for a great Delaware letterbox hunt!
